Our global curriculum prepares leaders for a world of change.

The Power of the Liberal Arts

The foundation of a Concordia education is a strong curriculum in the global liberal arts. Across all disciplines, our students learn to think critically, develop a broad global perspective and consider creative responses to the world’s most important concerns.

Learning for Life

In every discipline, faculty members draw on the principles of the liberal arts by challenging students to think deeply about what they’re learning and to write and speak persuasively. No matter what their major, Concordia students become lifelong learners with the intellectual depth and agility they need to thrive in any circumstance.

Educational Goals

Concordia’s curriculum:

Instills a love for learning

Develops foundational skills and transferable intellectual capacities

Develops an understanding of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives and their connections

Core Curriculum Impact

In addition to courses in the major, all Concordia students complete the Core Curriculum, a series of courses designed to give you a well-rounded education. Drawing from diverse departments including history, literature, language, science, religion and the arts, these courses teach you about the human experience and invite you to explore your values.

The Core Curriculum also gives you a strong foundation in communication and analytical skills, and prepares you to engage in the world as a versatile, lifelong learner.
